Hey, how's it going, my names Davy, I own a 1.6 TDCI MK2 Focus zetec climate in silver, truthfully don't know an awful lot about Fords, but have always been a fan of the MK1 and MK2 Focus Diesels but a fan of the RS/ST looks.

I started driving a 1.7 DTI Corsa C, I bought it with 124k, with no service history, and absolutely loved it, they were quite torqueful for only being 75bhp, but unfortunately, it got a server knock at a charity cruise at the start of summer, an event called Cruise For Cancer, we were halfway through the journey when there was an accident about 2 mile ahead of us, but we did not know and there were around 150 cars in front of us waiting for going around it, but we came over a blind summit bam they were there, mate in front got stopped just in time, I hit the back of him around 5-10, which wasn't any severe damage, me and my friend opened our doors to check everything then, bang, the doors came slamming in on us, my friend hit the front window, luckily I didn't have my seatbelt off yet, after a bit we got out to see that our other friend had drove into the back of us, at what he reckons was 40mph by the time he breaked, so baisically, bye bye Corsa, being stuck for money I bought a 106, and now I got myself the Focus :P

The Corsa 2 hours prior to the accident:

And was also featured in this video, where you can see the Toledo I hit and the rover 200 that hit me (: Good thing we're all friends :P

So here's the Focus :)

Obviously due a good clean, but I'll be positing a build thread with my plans and what's been done so far :P

So hello!

I have already stalked them before joining haha! :p thanks guys (:

Haha, the go pro footage on the purple bonnet was my brother, the footage at the start was admitably me, but on the day it was scortching, so I wasn't really speeding at any point, just taking it in ;p

As for the focus, I rarely speed in it, having an average mpg on the trip is fascinating to me having never had one :p 55mph is around the fastest I go now haha
